Upstairs, Marissa arrived outside Seth's room and knocked on the door.
Seth: (From inside the room) What?
Marissa opened the door and popped her head in.
Marissa: Hey Seth.
Seth: Marissa?
Marissa walked into Seth's room and found Seth lying on his bed reading a comic.
Marissa: Hey.
Seth: Hey…uh…not that I mind the company, but…I can barely remember the last time you were in my house.
Marissa: Yeah, it's been a while.
Seth: So…what are you doing here?
Marissa: I drove Ryan here.
At this point Marissa couldn't contain the smile from appearing on her face. Seth of course noticed this.
Seth: Hmm…so you're the reason my dear brother didn't come home last night.
Marissa: Guilty.
Seth: So…what happened?
While Marissa was upstairs explaining what happened with her and Ryan to Seth, Ryan and Lindsay were still downstairs working on their physics. They split the project in half like they usually did. Now they were both finished and had exchanged their parts so the other could check them. Ryan was gazing through Lindsay's work, he knew it was correct, it always was. He was glad that they had already finished the majority of the work, because his brain could not concentrate on physics at the moment. Nevertheless, Ryan stared at the numbers and letters on the page, but all he was really thinking about was Marissa.
Lindsay: Ryan, this is good…and you even got that stuff we went over a few day's ago.
Ryan did not respond, because he wasn't really listening to her. Ryan continued to stare at Lindsay's paper.
Lindsay: Ryan!
Ryan: Huh?
Lindsay: You're paper is good; everything looks fine.
Ryan: Good.
Lindsay: So…uh, where did you go last night?
Ryan: Um…actually I went to see Marissa.
Ryan quickly placed Lindsay's paper back on the table and slid it over to her.
Ryan: Your paper's good too, I couldn't find any mistakes.
Lindsay: Oh…okay.
Ryan stood up from the table walking over to the fridge and grabbing a soda for himself, while Lindsay stared down at the table.
Ryan: Are you thirsty?
Lindsay looked up from the table and looked over at Ryan.
Lindsay: No, I'm okay.
Ryan opened his can of soda and walked back to the table, but didn't sit down. Lindsay spread the papers out in front of her on the table, taking a look at the finished project.
Lindsay: Well, I guess we're done.
Ryan: Yeah…it looks good.
Lindsay: Yeah, we make a good team.
Ryan: Yeah…I don't know if I'd be passing physics without your help.
Lindsay: Of course you'd be passing. You'd just have a B instead of the A you've got right now.
Ryan laughed a little bit as Lindsay stood up, and started to gather her books.
Lindsay: So I guess we're done here.
Ryan: I think so.
Lindsay opened her backpack and began placing her books inside. When she finished, she zipped it up and slung it over her shoulder.
Lindsay: So, I guess I'll see you at school Monday.
Ryan: Yeah…I'll walk you to the door.
Ryan motioned for Lindsay to walk and she did, exiting the kitchen and walking towards the front door, with Ryan following. The two said their goodbyes at the door and Lindsay left the Cohen's trying not to think about how she missed her shot to be with Ryan.
Ryan closed the front door and turned heading up the stairs towards Seth's room. When he got to the door, it was standing slightly ajar, and he could hear Seth and Marissa's voices coming from inside. Ryan pushed the door open the rest of the way and stepped into the room.
Marissa: So how did the show turn out last night?
Seth: Jet was awesome…
Ryan had made his way fully into Seth's room.
Ryan: Hey guys.
Marissa: Hey.
Ryan walked across the room and stood next to Marissa, leaning back against Seth's desk.
Seth: Hey man…so anyway, Jet was great, but Summer and Zach…
Seth shuddered at the thought, shaking his head.
Marissa: Hey, I warned you.
Seth: It wasn't even that they were making out the whole time.
Ryan: So what was it then?
Seth: They just look so…happy.
Seth plopped back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. Both Ryan and Marissa looked at their friend sympathetically. Seth let out a sigh and picked up the comic off his bed he'd been reading before Marissa came in. Seth flipped to a page, and began reading where he'd left off. Ryan glanced over at Seth, and then extended his hand out towards Marissa, motioning for her to come with him. Marissa took his hand and he pulled her up out of her seat, and the two walked out of Seth's bedroom.
Marissa: What's up?
Ryan: Nothing.
Ryan turned towards Marissa and pulled her closer to him.
Ryan: You know, you seem to have this ability to cloud all my thoughts.
Marissa: Hard time focusing on physics?
Ryan: You could say that.
Ryan leaned in and kissed Marissa. He wrapped his arms around her waist and slowly leaned her back into the wall, allowing his body to lean against hers. Eventually, the two pulled apart, both out of breath.
Marissa: So…are you done?
Ryan: All finished.
Marissa: Pool house?
Ryan: That's what I was thinking.
